Threat at APTRA: Luis Ventura reported that they raided the main suspect

Luis Ventura spoke this Sunday on Secretos Verdaderos about the  bomb threat that shook APTRA last Monday, May 5.

The host explained how the investigation is progressing and confirmed that a search has already been conducted at the main suspect's house.

What happened with the bomb threat at APTRA?

The incident occurred on Monday, May 5 at the headquarters of the Association of Television and Radio Journalists, located at Saavedra 200.

A mortar shell with pellets was found near the trash can right in front of the entrance to the building where APTRA operates.

According to Ventura, the projectile was about 40 centimeters (15.7 inches) high and about 20 centimeters (7.9 inches) in diameter. Although it didn't have the capacity to explode, it could activate the pellets it contained.

For that reason, the authorities immediately evacuated the four blocks between Avenida Belgrano and Avenida Rivadavia.

Who is the main suspect?

Thanks to security cameras, the police were able to identify a neighbor of the block as the person responsible for leaving the device in the public way.

The man didn't throw the shell into the container but placed it on the side, which increased the risk if it were to activate.

The police have already acted

After identifying him, the police searched his home and summoned him to testify. According to Ventura, there might be more war material in the suspect's house.

He will now have to justify why he had war weaponry in his possession and under what conditions he stored it.

The discovery was thanks to the neighbors

The América TV host also stated that it was the neighbors themselves who raised the alarm.

"The neighbors found the grenades and heard an explosion inside the containers. Then an inactive missile appeared meters from the entrance to APTRA," Ventura reported.

The episode caused concern in the area and set off all the alarms due to the level of danger of the material found.
